Hobbie dropping + Pals

I have a ton of things to do today but sometimes starting with something semi productive can get you into that working mindset.

We're currently moving house and I am in a hotel room with a talk to finish today; programming lessons to finish and school assignment to start but such is life. Usually the process of making these blogs is: I make very brief notes about what I want to talk about in my next entry over the course of the week. The last thing I wrote down is "Importance of letting things go. Fashion, gaming etc" What I think I meant by that is the necessity of abandoning certain hobbies and interests to prioritise other financially beneficial skills. Although this is partially true and it is important to prioritise "financially beneficial skills" on a long term scale which means reducing the amount of time you spend on more recreational things; abandoning them as a whole is definitely something I can imagine regretting in future. For example years ago I could fluently play the violin and piano.  This is a little different because I vividly remember disliking the violin and not really caring that much about playing the piano either but nowadays I imagine what it would be like if I had still kept up with those things and how good it would be to be able to play a musical instrument at a relatively high level. The point is sometimes certain hobbies can feel overwhelming at the time and it's okay to give them less attention because of the busyness of our lives but its very likely you will regret not working on them in years to come. A little effort regularly will compound. This sounds like I'm giving a talk...In conclusion. I will not be discontinuing my fashion and gaming pursuits and will strive to keep maintaining them. May we all persevere with our hobbies that seem time consuming so that we can reap the rewards in future and build our self discipline and time management skills in the meantime. 

Another thought I've had recently is how different upbringings affect friendships. This is so interesting.  Friendships are built from sharing similar interests, morals or ideas which similar ethnic backgrounds or ways of being brought up can cause. The example that comes to mind is of a friend I use to have. We will call him Jordan. Me and Jordan were super close when I was 13,14 and I would go to his house a lot. One time when I was at his house. He said "I love how you make yourself at home" I think he was referring to how outgoing I was and had a somewhat sense of self confidence. This is primarily based off of how I was raised - A lot of validation from my parents. He also was quite outgoing as well which is why I think the friendship worked so well for so long. Unfortunately just that one similarity alone wasn't really enough for us to remain being friends and me and Jordan broke of our friendship in 2019. ME-N-JORDAN 2016-2021. Jordan was cool though but as we got older we developed different interests, values and outlooks on life.

I'm 20 in less than a month. Really a grown ahh man writing down his feelings in a blog.
